At Caster Concepts, we understand the unique challenges of outdoor environments and uneven terrain. That’s why we offer a comprehensive selection of ground support casters designed to tackle the elements, transport equipment on aircraft maintenance and engine stands, and provide reliable performance in a wide range of outdoor applications.
Choosing a safe and durable caster for your ground support applications is a top priority. With Caster Concepts, you’ll get products that are built to last longer, move heavy loads better, reduce costs, and hold up in less-than-ideal conditions. All while meeting the stringent safety standards demanded by the ground support industry.
Surface and environmental conditions are some of the biggest challenges faced by ground support equipment casters. Our extensive range of outdoor caster wheels ensures that you’ll find the ideal solution for your specific needs.
We offer excellent semi-pneumatic wheels that are perfect for your aircraft maintenance stands. Semi-Pneumatic tires mitigate shock by cushioning the load, while also rolling over obstructions, uneven floor surfaces, and rough indoor or outdoor terrain with ease.
Maintenance-free casters are designed to reduce the force exerted to turn or start rolling. They feature neoprene-sealed precision ball bearings and hardened raceways that provide smooth swivel rotation with less effort.
Our MS Casters are aluminum casters that have many benefits, including:
Spring-loaded casters are an excellent choice when transporting expensive equipment like jet engines on a dolly, because of their superb shock absorbance and their urethane springs, which help dampen vibration even more than typical steel springs would
Our ground support casters offer several advantages, including enhanced durability in challenging situations, improved traction, and the safe and efficient transport of heavy and sensitive loads.
Caster Concepts has a wide variety of caster options. Many of these not only improve function – but also provide safety and add longevity to the product. When considering safety options, the most common consideration would be caster locks, caster brakes, toe guards, and reinforced legs. Options that extend the life of a caster are primarily options that seal the bearing of the caster to prevent contamination of the precision parts.
Other options include threaded zerks for when an application is difficult and high level of maintenance is required and track brush wipers that keep debris from stopping movement or damaging a wheel. These options can be added at the time of manufacturing or after the caster is fully assembled.
